Bei dem deutlichen Buch!
وَٱلْكِتَٰبِ ٱلْمُبِينِ
Lo! We revealed it on a blessed night - Lo! We are ever warning -
We sent it (this Qur'an) down on a blessed night [(i.e. night of Al-Qadr, Surah No. 97) in the month of Ramadan - the 9th month of the Islamic calendar]. Verily, We are ever warning [mankind that Our Torment will reach those who disbelieve in Our Oneness of Lordship and in Our Oneness of worship].
Wir haben es wahrlich in einer gesegneten Nacht herabgesandt - Wir haben ja (die Menschen) immer wieder gewarnt -,
إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةٍ مُّبَٰرَكَةٍ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنذِرِينَ
Whereon every wise command is made clear
Therein (that night) is decreed every matter of ordainments.

فِيهَا يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ

As a Command (or this Qur'an or the Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messengers),

رَحْمَةً مِّن رَّبِّكَ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلسَّمِيعُ ٱلْعَلِيمُ
Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if ye would be sure.
The Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that is between them, if you (but) have a faith with certainty.
dem Herrn der Himmel und der Erde und dessen, was dazwischen ist, wenn ihr überzeugt seid.
رَبِّ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِن كُنتُم مُّوقِنِينَ
There is no God save Him. He quickeneth and giveth death; your Lord and Lord of your forefathers.
La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He). It is He Who gives life and causes death - your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers.
Es gibt keinen Gott außer Ihm. Er macht lebendig und läßt sterben, (Er), euer Herr und der Herr eurer Vorväter.
لَآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْىِۦ وَيُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَرَبُّ ءَابَآئِكُمُ ٱلْأَوَّلِينَ
Nay, but they play in doubt.
Nay! They play about in doubt.
Aber nein! Sie sind im Zweifel und treiben ihr Spiel.
بَلْ هُمْ فِى شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
But watch thou (O Muhammad) for the day when the sky will produce visible smoke
Then wait you for the Day when the sky will bring forth a visible smoke,
So erwarte den Tag, an dem der Himmel deutlichen Rauch hervorbringt,
فَٱرْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِى ٱلسَّمَآءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُّبِينٍ
That will envelop the people. This will be a painful torment.
Covering the people: this is a painful torment.
der die Menschen überdecken wird. Das ist eine schmerzhafte Strafe.
يَغْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ هَٰذَا عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ
(Then they will say): Our Lord relieve us of the torment. Lo! we are believers.
(They will say): "Our Lord! Remove the torment from us, really we shall become believers!"
Unser Herr, nimm die Strafe von uns hinweg; wir sind (jetzt) ja gläubig.
رَّبَّنَا ٱكْشِفْ عَنَّا ٱلْعَذَابَ إِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ
How can there be remembrance for them, when a messenger making plain (the Truth) had already come unto them,
How can there be for them an admonition (at the time when the torment has reached them), when a Messenger explaining things clearly has already come to them.
Wie soll ihnen (jetzt) die Selbstbesinnung nützen, wo bereits ein deutlicher Gesandter zu ihnen kam,
أَنَّىٰ لَهُمُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰ وَقَدْ جَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
And they had turned away from him and said: One taught (by others), a madman ?
Then they had turned away from him (Messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and said: (He is) one taught (by a human being), a madman!"
sie sich hierauf aber von ihm abkehrten und sagten: "Einer, dem vorgesagt wird, ein Besessener"?
ثُمَّ تَوَلَّوْا۟ عَنْهُ وَقَالُوا۟ مُعَلَّمٌ مَّجْنُونٌ
Lo! We withdraw the torment a little. Lo! ye return (to disbelief).
Verily, We shall remove the torment for a while. Verily you will revert (to disbelief).

إِنَّا كَاشِفُوا۟ ٱلْعَذَابِ قَلِيلًا إِنَّكُمْ عَآئِدُونَ
On the day when We shall seize them with the greater seizure, (then) in truth We shall punish.
On the Day when We shall seize you with the greatest seizure (punishment). Verily, We will exact retribution.
Am Tag, da Wir mit der größten Gewalt zupacken werden, gewiß, da werden Wir Vergeltung üben.
يَوْمَ نَبْطِشُ ٱلْبَطْشَةَ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰٓ إِنَّا مُنتَقِمُونَ
And verily We tried before them Pharaoh's folk, when there came unto them a noble messenger,
And indeed We tried before them Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people, when there came to them a noble Messenger [i.e. Musa (Moses) عليه السلام],
Und Wir setzten bereits vor ihnen das Volk Fir'auns der Versuchung aus. Zu ihnen kam ein edler Gesandter:
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ
Saying: Give up to me the slaves of Allah. Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you.
Saying: "Deliver to me the slaves of Allah (i.e. the Children of Israel). Verily, I am to you a Messenger worthy of all trust.

أَنْ أَدُّوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
And saying: Be not proud against Allah. Lo! I bring you a clear warrant.

Und seid Allah gegenüber nicht überheblich. Gewiß, ich bringe euch eine deutliche Ermächtigung.
وَأَن لَّا تَعْلُوا۟ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ إِنِّىٓ ءَاتِيكُم بِسُلْطَٰنٍ مُّبِينٍ
And lo! I have sought refuge in my Lord and your Lord lest ye stone me to death.
"And truly, I seek refuge with my Lord and your Lord, lest you should stone me (or call me a sorcerer or kill me).
Und gewiß, ich nehme Zuflucht bei meinem Herrn und eurem Herrn davor, daß ihr mich steinigt.
وَإِنِّى عُذْتُ بِرَبِّى وَرَبِّكُمْ أَن تَرْجُمُونِ
And if ye put no faith in me, then let me go.
"But if you believe me not, then keep away from me and leave me alone."
Und wenn ihr mir nicht glaubt, dann haltet euch (wenigstens) fern von mir."
وَإِن لَّمْ تُؤْمِنُوا۟ لِى فَٱعْتَزِلُونِ
And he cried unto his Lord, (saying): These are guilty folk.
(But they were aggressive), so he [Musa (Moses)] called upon his Lord (saying): "These are indeed the people who are Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals)."
Da rief er zu seinem Herrn: "Diese sind ein Volk von Übeltätern."
فَدَعَا رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ قَوْمٌ مُّجْرِمُونَ
Then (his Lord commanded): Take away My slaves by night. Lo! ye will be followed,
(Allah said): "Depart you with My slaves by night. Surely, you will be pursued.
- "Zieh bei Nacht mit Meinen Dienern fort; ihr werdet ja verfolgt werden.
فَأَسْرِ بِعِبَادِى لَيْلًا إِنَّكُم مُّتَّبَعُونَ
And leave the sea behind at rest, for lo! they are a drowned host.
"And leave the sea as it is (quiet and divided). Verily, they are a host to be drowned."
Und laß das Meer in Ruhe zurück'. Gewiß, sie sind eine Heerschar, die ertränkt werden soll."
وَٱتْرُكِ ٱلْبَحْرَ رَهْوًا إِنَّهُمْ جُندٌ مُّغْرَقُونَ
How many were the gardens and the watersprings that they left behind,
How many of gardens and springs that they [Fir'aun's (Pharaoh) people] left behind,
Wie viele Gärten und Quellen ließen sie zurück
كَمْ تَرَكُوا۟ مِن جَنَّٰتٍ وَعُيُونٍ
And the cornlands and the goodly sites
And green crops (fields) and goodly places,
und Getreidefelder und treffliche Stätte
وَزُرُوعٍ وَمَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ
And pleasant things wherein they took delight!
And comforts of life wherein they used to take delight!
und ein angenehmes Leben, in dem sie vergnügt waren!
وَنَعْمَةٍ كَانُوا۟ فِيهَا فَٰكِهِينَ
Even so (it was), and We made it an inheritance for other folk;
Thus (it was)! And We made other people inherit them (i.e. We made the Children of Israel to inherit the kingdom of Egypt).
So (war es). Und Wir gaben es anderen Leuten zum Erbe.
كَذَٰلِكَ وَأَوْرَثْنَٰهَا قَوْمًا ءَاخَرِينَ
And the heaven and the earth wept not for them, nor were they reprieved.
And the heavens and the earth wept not for them, nor were they given a respite.
Weder Himmel noch Erde weinte über sie, und ihnen wurde kein Aufschub gewährt.
فَمَا بَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلسَّمَآءُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَا كَانُوا۟ مُنظَرِينَ
And We delivered the Children of Israel from the shameful doom;
And indeed We saved the Children of Israel from the humiliating torment:
Und Wir erretteten bereits die Kinder lsra'ils von der schmachvollen Qual,
وَلَقَدْ نَجَّيْنَا بَنِىٓ إِسْرَٰٓءِيلَ مِنَ ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ
(We delivered them) from Pharaoh. Lo! he was a tyrant of the wanton ones.
From Fir'aun (Pharaoh); verily he was arrogant and was of the Musrifun (those who transgress beyond bound in spending and other things and commit great sins).
von Fir'aun. Er war überheblich und einer der Maßlosen.
مِن فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَالِيًا مِّنَ ٱلْمُسْرِفِينَ
And We chose them, purposely, above (all) creatures.
And We chose them (the Children of Israel) above the 'Alamin (mankind and jinn) [during the time of Musa (Moses)] with knowledge,
Und Wir erwählten sie ja mit Wissen vor den (anderen) Weltenbewohnern
وَلَقَدِ ٱخْتَرْنَٰهُمْ عَلَىٰ عِلْمٍ عَلَى ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And We gave them portents wherein was a clear trial.
And granted them signs in which there was a plain trial.
und ließen ihnen von den Zeichen solche zukommen, die eine deutliche Prüfung enthielten.
وَءَاتَيْنَٰهُم مِّنَ ٱلْءَايَٰتِ مَا فِيهِ بَلَٰٓؤٌا۟ مُّبِينٌ
Lo! these, forsooth, are saying:
Verily, these (Quraish) people are saying:
Diese sagen fürwahr:
إِنَّ هَٰٓؤُلَآءِ لَيَقُولُونَ
There is naught but our first death, and we shall not be raised again.
"There is nothing but our first death, and we shall not be resurrected.
"Es gibt nur unseren ersten Tod. Und wir werden nicht auferstehen.
إِنْ هِىَ إِلَّا مَوْتَتُنَا ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِمُنشَرِينَ
Bring back our fathers, if ye speak the truth!
"Then bring back our forefathers, if you speak the truth!"
Bringt doch unsere Väter zurück, wenn ihr wahrhaftig seid."
فَأْتُوا۟ بِـَٔابَآئِنَآ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ
Are they better, or the folk of Tubb'a and those before them ? We destroyed them, for surely they were guilty.
Are they better or the people of Tubba' and those before them? We destroyed them because they were indeed Mujrimun (disbelievers, polytheists, sinners, criminals).
Sind sie etwa besser oder das Volk Tubba's und diejenigen vor ihnen? Wir vernichteten sie; sie waren ja Übeltäter.
أَهُمْ خَيْرٌ أَمْ قَوْمُ تُبَّعٍ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ أَهْلَكْنَٰهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ مُجْرِمِينَ
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in play.
And We created not the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, for mere play.
Und Wir haben die Himmel und die Erde und was dazwischen ist, nicht zum Spiel erschaffen.
وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا لَٰعِبِينَ
We created them not save with truth; but most of them know not.
We created them not except with truth (i.e. to examine and test those who are obedient and those who are disobedient and then reward the obedient ones and punish the disobedient ones), but most of them know not.
Wir haben sie nur in Wahrheit erschaffen. Aber die meisten von ihnen wissen nicht.
مَا خَلَقْنَٰهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ
Assuredly the Day of Decision is the term for all of them,
Verily, the Day of Judgement (when Allah will judge between the creatures) is the time appointed for all of them -
Gewiß, der Tag der Entscheidung ist ihrer aller festgesetzte Zeit,
إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ مِيقَٰتُهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
A day when friend can in naught avail friend, nor can they be helped,
The Day when a Maula (a near relative) cannot avail a Maula (a near relative) in aught, and no help can they receive,
der Tag, an dem kein Schutzherr seinem Schützling etwas nützen kann und ihnen keine Hilfe zuteil wird,
يَوْمَ لَا يُغْنِى مَوْلًى عَن مَّوْلًى شَيْـًٔا وَلَا هُمْ يُنصَرُونَ

Will be the food of the sinners.
ist die Speise des Sünders;
طَعَامُ ٱلْأَثِيمِ
Like molten brass, it seetheth in their bellies
Like boiling oil, it will boil in the bellies,
wie siedendes Öl kocht er in den Bäuchen,
كَٱلْمُهْلِ يَغْلِى فِى ٱلْبُطُونِ
As the seething of boiling water.
Like the boiling of scalding water.
wie das heiße Wasser kocht.
كَغَلْىِ ٱلْحَمِيمِ
(And it will be said): Take him and drag him to the midst of hell,
(It will be said) "Seize him and drag him into the midst of blazing Fire,

ذُقْ إِنَّكَ أَنتَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْكَرِيمُ
Lo! this is that whereof ye used to doubt.

Das ist (es) ja, worüber ihr zu zweifeln pflegtet.
إِنَّ هَٰذَا مَا كُنتُم بِهِۦ تَمْتَرُونَ
Lo! those who kept their duty will be in a place secured.
Verily, the Muttaqun (the pious. See V.2:2), will be in place of Security (Paradise).
Gewiß, die Gottesfürchtigen befinden sich an sicherer Stätte,
إِنَّ ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ فِى مَقَامٍ أَمِينٍ

لَا يَذُوقُونَ فِيهَا ٱلْمَوْتَ إِلَّا ٱلْمَوْتَةَ ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَوَقَىٰهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
A bounty from thy Lord. That is the supreme triumph.
